Last night, BoyBand star Michael Copon appeared on the Kardashian reality show premiere of “Kourtney and Kim Take New York.” Michael and Kim acted together on the series “Beyond the Break,” and flirted on her new series in last night’s episode. Check out the New York Daily News article.

We’re working on a distribution deal for “BoyBand” for 2011 so fans can see Copon as Brad Roberts, a high school football quarterback who gives it all up to start the first ever boyband in 1982, an idea created by Brad’s mom’s boyfriend (played by Robert Hoffman, Step Up 2, She’s the Man. With over 25 original songs, “BoyBand” is “as colorful as a rubix cube” – Telegram & Gazette. “Quirky characters….witty and fun!” – Falmouth Enterprise

Latest gossip: Star Michael Copon is reportedly dating Kim Kardashian. Google it. Is this true or some fancy rumor because Michael misses working with his favorite Armenian producer?“Armenians are alot of fun so it’s possible.” Says Ajemian, the Massachusetts based film producer who worked with Copon on her indie comedy Boyband: Breaking Through in ’82.

Is Mike Copon missing his Armenian producer Andrea Ajemian? Or is it the Basturma?

Anyway- if you haven’t seen it lately check out the trailer for BOYBAND; BREAKING THROUGH IN ’82 which stars Michael Copon. It’s currently playing at film festivals.

Hey Boybanders. Check out the new sneak peek of Kurt Fuller’s (Earl Roberts from BoyBand) new sitcom to air this fall on ABC. We are all hoping it’s a huge success, and we know it will be with veteran actor Kurt Fuller on board. The cast looks good and Kurt plays opposite Debra Jo Rupp, better known as the mom from “That 70s Show”. The mom from that 70s show plus the dad from that 80s movie (BoyBand) sounds like a winning combination!
